The Crystalline Cabaret indeed delivers on a variety of fantasies without being overly risque with their House Nocturnae. Although there are plenty of pasties and shaking bare bottoms. The performers are playful and entertaining providing a smorgasbord of burlesque performances to suit almost any palate, from latex to lace to feather boas. There isn't much of a story line to the overall show or any of the individual performances other than you as the audience member being whisked away to visions of an old timely cabaret where you forget your worries and enjoy the entertainment provided by a troupe of sensual ladies. If all of that and the cartwheels and splits still aren't enough to make your evening complete it's almost impossible to deny the beautiful crooning of the torch singer, I only wish we were treated to more than just the one song. The Crystalline Cabaret Presents: House Nocturnae is playing at the Havana Theatre 6 - 16 September as part of the 2018 Vancouver Fringe Festival. ~ reviewed by Karen Roller Click "read more" for the full video transcript.

Get ready for a sombre but fascinating evening of haunting tunes and tales. A Sad-Ass Cabaret stars the duo TJ Dawe and Lindsay Robertson as they recount the stories of famous musicians’ lives. With his fast-paced speech TJ Dawe shares the stories of singers such as Hank Williams and Judy Garland amongst others while Lindsay Robertson accompanies him with guitar and eventually breaks into a song attributed to the artist whose story has been told. The sad stories and chilling music will lull you into a contemplative mood in which you consider how artists can still make beautiful music even though they have terrible lives - not because of their pain, but in spite of it. Playing at the intimate Havana Theatre and produced by The Wretched Orphans, A Sad-Ass Cabaret is a beautiful ponderous evening of music and storytelling woven seamlessly together.
